Urm. A newbie question here. For 2.0 and 1.6SX, other than the engine difference, any other differences? e.g interior nicer?
*
only:

2.0 have 6 airbags, leather seats & nothing else as per current info....

1.6 is hydraulic power steering, 2.0 is MDPS (motor driven power steering)
i'm expecting 17" wheels to give a firm ride, but that won't make me trade in 17" for 16" or 15" after getting the car.
if want to change, change when plan to change tyres altogether  tongue.gif
*
yaya..... miss out the MDPS....

Manage to see a sx model in one of the showroom. Everything is quite ok, the boot is really a "wow...."

One thing i found is when i open the door , u can actually see near to the rubber lining area there is a welding joint(is poping up like a small pimple)  rclxub.gif  rclxub.gif

I hope that only happen to 1 particular unit only and not all units.

Well, today is the big launching day and yet........didn't have any discount or free gift or anything..... sad.gif
*
for 1st 200 booking, you will get below gifts:

- Forte Cap
- Forte Backpack
- calendar (i think is world cup related)
- forte key chain

but all this is while stock last.... usually all this SA will keep aside and then tell u only for 1st 200 and you are after 200...so no more this gift.... vmad.gif

To me, those are not "gift". I'm actually thinking of maybe petrol voucher, service voucher, kia emblem  brows.gif  etc.

Keychain??? Calender ?? Cap??  rclxub.gif  rclxub.gif  rclxub.gif  rclxub.gif
*
I don't think they will give u the KIA emblem.... but is nice to have a try.... but, if you change the KIA EMBLEM, then how about the wheel cap??? it still show NAZA ..... change it also?? i'm thinking to change but really expensive for kia wheel cap, cost 7.99usd each...... too much for me....

beside that, i also ask my fren to tumpang beli Smoked Visor in Singapore for Forte. waiting for my emblem from korea.... will order the B & C pillar plate from korea tonight..... tongue.gif

just feel so excited and hoping i can ride on this babe as soon as possible!!! rclxm9.gif

how come they do business like that..

because they reserve most to their own branch....... each branch i heard got 20 units, if the branch sales is good and may request units from those branch that not good....

Saw the car just now.
SX look good inside but the EX really can make ppl to turn off.

Rear leg room is a bit tight compare to City. And there is no Back Pocket for the Driver's seat.
For rear passengers I think it will be a bit uncomfortable cause the degree of the seat is too forward just like Persona.
Other than that everything look pretty cool. I really enjoy looking at the instrument panels.

Really enthusiastic to book this car but after seeing,feel and touch, I think I will wait until WajaLancer to come in first.
and surprisingly the Branch I checked (up north) did not have any booking so far.
*
i did my own experience.... i found out the seats are better than Persona abit due to the seat actually is higher and narrow compare Persona. WajaLancer?? really exist? not sure.... although Proton are getting better but still....i'm not so impress with the quality yet..... until then i will try my best to avoid Proton.....

guys, Not hurt feeling... just my personal concept where - i will not buy proton now because the quality is not on par with others yet....but personally i like Perdana, satria & satria neo rclxms.gif
REMARK: I'm driving Satria now.... rclxms.gif

cause i heard min said they will limit their cars to dealers.... in fact they will stop em' from taking too much orders tongue.gif
lol thats why branches is always the best eventho no discount whistling.gif
*
i heard that HQ will stop the delivery of cars to the dealer that Offer rebate.... this is news from my SA.... not sure about is true or not.... hmm.gif

so, better order from Branch..... smile.gif

went to kia motor seri kembangan,according to the SA,need to wait for 3 months to get the car.  CBU 1.6sx is nice,door are heavy,door close "Thup" feel ok,comparable to vios,sentra or city,and lots of goodie.

all the show car were CBU unit,i wonder how is the CKD in term of the quality.SA said all parts were from korea,only assembly here and change to naza emblem. Feel like what u see is what u wont get!! scared the ckd forte quality will turn up like spectra......
*
Naza trick in CKD is actually just assemble the doors in Malaysia.... by default the car body and engine is direct from Korea.....
The official printed receipt for my downpayment wrote there " Naza Forte 2.0 (CBU)"
so, i think i should get the CBU unit.....

hahaha cause i asked him to apply 100% loan by marking up the price of the car or take 2.0 for application...
i know is a little bit hard cause its different CC.... den he told me cannot cause it will clash on puspakom =.=''
i was like? do u need to go through puspakom with new car? no right?
only ur banker will come and look/check on the car only what, like that lorrr
*
no, even for new car still new to inspection.... it is general rules....

when u want to apply loan.... if u apply 2.0 and get the 1.6 car will auto reduce the loan amount due to the cc..... so usually only within the same cc car (with a lot of spec to choose)

well because of the rim and tyre, quality of tyre also a concern?
also can add soundproof on the particular area in future to make it better, more quiet
*
ya.... after reading over at ceratoforte.sg, i found out they claimed this stock 17" rim weighted at 11kg each.... this will seriously brng down the FC and pick up.... but with a better tyre and change the Rims to light weight rims, i believe a 1.6SX will just be great.... rclxms.gif

So I take it you are downgrading to 1.6?

I don't know whether you agree with this but by buying the 1.6sx, you won't lose too much in depreciation and the 1.6 is good enough for a car of this size?
*
this question only will be answer through out the time.... perhaps another year than we will know.... noone can answer this until the time is come....
